The picture book Papuwa-kun — born from Shibata Ami’s beloved manga Nankoku Shōnen Papuwa-kun — is teaming up with sock retailer Tabio‘s Kutsushitaya brand for a charming collaborative collection.
Limited Embroidered Socks, Nagasaki Only
Starting October 1, the collaboration socks will be available exclusively at two Nagasaki Prefecture locations: Kutsushitaya Nagasaki Hamacho and Kutsushitaya Amu Plaza Nagasaki.
The highlight of the collab is an in-store embroidery service where customers can have a one-point illustration of Papuwa-kun or Chappy stitched onto their socks on the spot. Mail-order embroidery is also available, and an online pre-order window — with limited quantities — will open from October 9 through 31.
Shibata Ami Takes the Floor as “Half-Day Manager”
On October 4, Shibata Ami herself will visit the Kutsushitaya Nagasaki Hamacho store to serve as its “half-day manager.” She will personally hand collab merchandise to customers who purchase items that day. Fans who bring their copy of the Papuwa-kun picture book to the event can also get it signed by the author.

Fans in or near Nagasaki that weekend won’t want to miss this rare chance to meet the creator in person.
